RippleFX to take place Aug. 16

The event will feature more than 100 dancers performing various dance styles, including ballet, tap, jazz, lyrical, hip-hop and contemporary.

Proceeds benefit the Andrea Rizzo Foundation, an organization that brings dance therapy to children with cancer and special needs in pediatric hospitals, Ronald McDonald houses and public schools. The organization was created in memory of Andrea Rizzo, a 24-year-old who was killed by a drunken driver in 2002.
